Mystery billy?

[Chickpalooza]

I have a young billy (less than a year old ) that I believe is a Spanish goat cross . However, so far no one has been able to tell me the official term for what color he is. Anyone know what this color is called?

I had a Kiko/Boer cross that looked quite similar to yours, just different colors in the face. Not sure what the color's called though.

I don't think there is an official name for his color.

I would describe that as "buckskin". Have no idea if that's correct for goats though - it's a horse colour.

On reflection - perhaps "Roan"?

I would not call it a buckskin. Buckskin is a much brighter color. The closest I can come to is Togg brown but he does not have the correct markings of the Toggenburg. Toggs are while below the knee and they have white facial stripes. The body color is close to what you would see on a Togg though.

Hm. Interesting input. I guess he’s just unique if anyone finds out what it’s called I’d be interested to hear it. He came from a neighbor with two billies so idk which he came from but we do have 1 of the two possible fathers. I don’t think the one we have is though, the other billy has a closer color to this but it’s much lighter. I’m thinking he is a Spanish x boer cross but I can’t say for sure. We don’t know what the mother looks like nor really anything about his parentage. His color is hard to put into words but I’d say describing it as a ‘cool brown’ is about as accurate as you can get. I’ll go ahead and send the billy we have that might be the father, he’s a registered black Spanish who is named Kevin(we didn’t pick lol)

I would call that color Roan. It is similar to the horse color blue roan or red roan.

No, roan in goats means white hairs are sprinkled in with the base color, he is one solid color with darker colors on his head, dorsal, and legs

edit: now that I’m looking at him closely his shoulders too have a darker brown

His horns are starting to get the Spanish goat curve; I’m not sure it that’s relevant

Still no revaluations about what this color is called?
